Dirty Tricks

Obama Supporters' Dirty Tricks to Win the Catholic Vote

Catholics are a key demographic in the upcoming election. In fact, they may be the key demographic.In most every presidential contest since the end of World War
II, the candidate who carried the Catholic vote won the election. Over
time they have, as a bloc, become more conservative and more
Republican in their voting patterns (they were once a major component
of the Democrats' presidential coalition) as concerns over settled
issues like the morality of abortion overtook in importance concerns
about unsettled issues like the best way to secure social justice for
the poor and the downtrodden.Much has been made of the fact that both candidates for vice
president—Paul Ryan and Joe Biden—are practicing Catholics, though they
come at almost every issue from diametrically opposite positions: As
one example, Ryan opposes abortion while Biden supports keeping it
legal. http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/peter-roff/2012/09/27/obama-supporters-dirty-tricks-to-win-the-catholic-vote
